Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We will develop a high-quality production of a classic play from Russia with a fresh and nuanced approach which is attended by 600 or more audience members. Further we will expose Twin Cities audiences to Russian contemporary culture and art making approaches through connected events. In post-performance evaluation surveys and informal conversations, audience members describe their experience of The Seagull and surrounding events as positive. Audience members offer engaging responses to open-ended and critical questions and 600-800 audience members attend the production.
